III.The object is the good known by the intellect.For will is borne toward a known good.That God truly wills we prove from the testimonies of Scripture, from perfection of essence, from intellect, from spiritual life, from inward and outward operations, from the consent of the church and of the philosophers.
The will of God is His highest perfection, by which His essence is excellently borne toward the good known by Himself.
Latin
III. Objectum est bonum ab intellectu cognitum. Voluntas enim fertur in bonum cognitum. Deum vero velle ita probamus a Scripturae testimoniis, ab essentiae perfectione, ab intellectu, a spirituali vita, ab operationibus internis et externis, a consensu ecclesiae et philosophorum. Voluntas Dei est summa illius perfectio, qua essentia ipsius excellenter fertur in bonum a se cognitum.
